Meeting Dover Medical Centre patient group

Today, I met with local patients at Dover Medical Practice. As medical provider Concordia has served notice to quit providing the practice, patients are fearful for the future.

They were eager to tell me of the excellent service they had receive from Dover Medical Practice, and how the practice's specialisation in people who do not speak English as a first language and ailments that affect people from Eastern Europe and Nepal was too important to be lost.

I support their concerns. I updated the group on recent meetings I have had with the Secretary of State for Health and NHS England where I have made the case for Dover Medical Practice to be supported. I will continue to fight for a fair share of healthcare here in Dover.
